Hi Chris, 

Resources in the UK: 

http://www.lcgb.org/  is thepage for lactation consultants in the UK.  Most 
are not in private practice, and the four private practice LCs listed here 
all seem to be in the South.  However, there is a breastfeeding drop in 
clinic in one of the Liverpool hospitals (can't remember which)[it is 
written up in this paper:  Matern Child Nutr. 2005 Oct;1(4):250-62. Links
Views of breastfeeding difficulties among drop-in-clinic attendees.Berridge 
K, McFadden K, Abayomi J, Topping J. -- you could try emailing the lead 
author], does this mother not have a number for her local group(s)  in her 
discharge pack? 

I konw volunteers from all four of the bf orgs in the UK discuss tongue tie 
and getting help with snipping (if appropriate) so many supporters know  few 
contacts.  The contacts for the 4 breastfeeding support organisations in the 
UK are: 

The Breastfeeding Network

Supporterline  0870 900 8787.

http://www.breastfeedingnetwork.org.uk/breastfeeding/support_locator.html 

http://www.abm.me.uk/supporte.htm 

http://www.thebabycafe.co.uk/index.html 

There are people who do snipping, and there are people who are skilled in 
supporting dyads in this position.  It is a question of contacting and 
seeing who is closest.
